For the week ended March 7, 2025, U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 1.448 million barrels to 435.2 million barrels, approximately 5% lower than the five-year average. Cushing, Oklahoma, crude stocks fell, while refinery inputs rose to 15.7 million barrels per day at 86.5% capacity. U.S. imports of crude oil averaged 5.5 million b/d, and the less-than-anticipated inventory build can be positive for crude oil prices, depending on world market conditions.
